Thank you for the feedback and I think your suggestion of a "messy" look could have worked. Will keep that in mind for next attempts.
I originally wanted to work late in the afternoon but I'd be losing light relatively fast so I just decided the time where the sunlight is relatively constant. I'll try again sometime with your suggestion of shooting early in the morning so I won't be losing light instead I'd be getting more light as the day progresses. Thank you for your thoughts.
